Unified hybrid censoring scheme is a mixture of generalized Type-I and Type-II hybrid censoring schemes. In this paper, we mainly consider the analysis of unified hybrid censored data when the lifetime distribution of the individual item is a two-parameter generalized exponential distribution. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimators can not be obtained in a closed form. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters by using Newton-Raphson algorithm. The Fisher information matrix has been obtained and it can be used for constructing asymptotic confidence intervals. We also obtain the Bayes estimates of the unknown parameters under the assumption of independent gamma priors using the importance sampling procedure. Simulations are performed to compare the performances of the different schemes and one data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Entropy plays a fundamental role in reliability and system lifetesting areas. In the recent studies, much attentions have been paid to use quantile functions properties and their applications as an alternate approac in distinguishing statistical models and analysis of data. In the present paper, quantile based residual Tsallis entropy is introduced and its properties in continuous models are investigated. Considering distributions of certain lifetime, explicit versions for quantile based residual Tsallis entropy are obtained and their properties monotonicity are studied and characterization based on this entropy is investigated. Also quantile based Tsallis divergence is introduced and quantile based residual Tsallis divergence is obtained. Finally, an estimator for the quantile based residual Tsallis entropy is introduced and its performance is investigate by study simulation.
